Product BrochureProduct Details:

A plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) has a rectangular plastic housing. It is a reduced cost evolution of the ceramic leadless chip carrier (CLCC).

 A PLCC circuit may either be installed in a PLCC socket or surface-mounted. PLCC sockets may in turn be surface mounted, or use through-hole technology. The motivation for a surface-mount PLCC socket would be when working with devices that cannot withstand the heat involved during the reflow process, or to allow for component replacement without reworking. Using a PLCC socket may be necessary in situations where the device requires stand-alone programming, such as some flash memory devices. Some through-hole sockets are designed for prototyping with wire wrapping.

A specialized tool called a PLCC extractor facilitates the removal of a PLCC from a socket.

This package is still used for a wide variety of device types, which would include memory, processors, controllers, ASIC, DSP, etc. Applications range from consumer products through automotive and aerospace.
